Some of the features of the new page include:

• Sorting by all columns
• Searching on all fields (makes it so much easier to find specific bookmarks)
• Ability to display between 10-100 records per page
• Quicker page load time than old page
• Now showing Domain and URL, which are very useful when sorting or searching

So what are ya waiting for?   Go check out the new page (Bookmarks > My Bookmarks) and let us know your thoughts

If you don’t like the new page, the old page is still available (you’ll see a link in the top right corner that says >> Old Page <<).  We plan to keep it up for a while so that people have time to adapt to the new page.

This new functionality is release v2.72.

• Added “History Download” for individual bookmarks.  This has been requested by several people doing SEO consulting that need to send complete history to their clients.  Now it’s much, much easier!  Just go to History > My Bookmarks, click on the “Submission Count” field for the bookmark you want history for, then scroll to the bottom and enter dates, then click “Download”.
• Updated spintax function to be more robust.  It can now handle multi-nested spin tags and has better spintax error reporting. This function is used to spin your bookmark Titles and Descriptions during submission to the social media sites.
• Improved the connector code for Diigo, MySiteVote, SiteSays, and SoForce social bookmarking sites to have better submission rates and error reporting.

1. Added a new social media site – BookmarkOrient.com.  This is an up-and-coming doFollow, indexed, bookmarking site with respectable traffic (Alexa ranking).
2. Fixed a bug where the “submission count” for bookmarks on the “My Bookmarks” page was occasionally showing lower values than it should have.  The “submission limit” functionality was still working correctly, it was just confusing to some users when their bookmarks would be paused when it still looked like they had submissions left before they hit their limit.

You can use this form to download the history of the submissions your bookmark has received.  It’s a CSV file containing the URLs of all the user pages on the different social media sites.

Why would you want to download the history?

• To import into other backlinking or index-boosting systems in order to boost the “link juice”
• To share with SEO clients
• Simply to analyze the data

This new functionality is release v2.53.

• My Bookmarks
• Shared bookmarks processing engine
• Share Queue
• Quick Share
• Share Queue widget on Dashboard
• Daily email job
• Daily credit giver job for ‘Lazy’ users
• History – My Bookmarks
• History – Stats
• Setup Wizard – All social bookmarking account pages
• Setup Wizard – Add Bookmark
• Setup Wizard – Share

Hopefully you’ll notice improved response times throughout the site.  If you notice any bugs,  as usual please let us know.

What it does is allows you to submit each bookmark to approximately 25 additional social sites not included in standard SocialAdr submissions.  These are sites that haven’t yet automated submissions to, so it’s a bit of extra manual work for us, but we’re including this new feature at no extra cost…winning!  Note that typical turnaround for SubmissionBoost processing is within 72 hours.

How do I use SubmissionBoost?

Well first off, if you don’t already have a ‘Lazy’ account, you should upgrade.

There’s two pages where you can enable SubmissionBoost:

Add Bookmark:

• Here you’ll see a new checkbox to enable SubmissionBoost.  Simply make sure it’s checked every time you add a new bookmark.

• The up arrow has 3 states:  (off)  (in progress)  (complete).

My Bookmarks:

• Each bookmark will have the SubmissionBoost progress indicator arrow visible.  By clicking the grey arrow, you’ll be enabling SubmissionBoost for that specific bookmark.

• The ‘My Recent Bookmarks’ Dashboard Widget now displays all bookmarks, even if they’re inactive.

• You can now edit inactive bookmarks(either you’ve ran out of credits or manually paused them)
• You can now start any paused bookmark on the ‘My Bookmarks’ page regardless of how many credits you have.
• A “Submissions of your Bookmarks” counter has been added to the top bar so it’s super easy to see how much value you’re getting from your account.  This indicates the number of successful submissions of your own bookmarks to the social bookmarking services.

We’ve got a number of new features we’re pushing out, including three new social bookmarking services.  We are also turning off a couple of services, one because they’ve taken it down to revamp it and the other because it doesn’t quite align perfectly with our service.  Of course you’ll want to sign up for accounts with the new services so you can get the most bang for your buck.

Which leads me to a great new feature: the Setup Wizard.  The Setup Wizard is where all new users will be sent right after registering to help walk them through the process of setting up all the social bookmarking accounts, adding in their first bookmark, and sharing their first link.  We’ve heard from a number of members that it’s a bit hard to understand the system when you first sign up, so we’re rolling out the Setup Wizard to help out.

But you can use the Setup Wizard even if you’re not new.  It will show you at a glance which services you have accounts with and which ones you still need, and provide a quick and easy way to get your account completely up and running.

One revamped section of the site is the bookmark management area, reached by going to the ‘Bookmarks’ menu and then choosing ‘My Bookmarks’.  First off, we’ve simplified a number of things about how you work with bookmarks.  There’s no more ‘cell’ to worry about, no more activating and deactivating, etc.

You simply have links that haven’t hit the maximum shares yet and links that have and were archived.  On the ‘My Bookmarks’ page, all of your non-archived links are shown.  You can see what the individual bookmarks look like here:

You can see the little status indicator next to the name of the bookmark.  That will show green when it’s being shared, and gray when I don’t have enough credits.  The green arrow shows that I am currently allowing that bookmark to be shared – I can pause it any time I want.

We are also adding a new option on the Share page.  We’ve always had the ‘Abuse’ button, although it’s rarely had to be used.  Sometimes though, there are links that pop up that you’d rather not share but you don’t necessarily feel deserve the abuse button.  They can get lodged in the top of your Share page and prevent you from seeing other, more interesting links.

Enter the “I’d prefer not to share” button:

The unhappy looking fellow next to the abuse button will let us know that you’d rather not see that particular link anymore, and we’ll go ahead and remove it from your Share area altogether.

We’re also restructuring our accounts.  There are a number of specific issues want to address:

• Be more friendly to the social bookmarking sites
• Make sure people have items to share
• Reduce the work needed for our paying customers to get their links

Coming out of the upgrade tomorrow we will have 4 account types.  As I mentioned previously we’re going to be adjusting the number of credits received per share based on the account level.  So the free account will receive less credit in exchange for sharing compared with the paid accounts, and each level of the paid account will get more credit than the one below it.

Balancing this out, we will be reducing the number of shares per day allowed for all account types.  Many of the social bookmarking services consider sharing 20 items per day spam, and we definitely want to stay on their good side.  Besides, a banned account doesn’t help anyone out.

So our paid accounts will be able to share a reduced number of sites per day, but will be receiving more credit per share than previously.  In addition, we are raising the limits on the number of bookmarks you can store in SocialAdr at any given time, and raising the limits on the number of times each link can be shared.  We believe the net effect will be that all of our members will have their bookmarks shared more than they were able to previously.

For our existing members, we will be leaving your existing accounts as is for the duration of your current billing cycle.  After that, unless you let us know otherwise, your account will be upgraded to one of the new accounts automatically.  While prices are going up overall, your price is locked in and we’ll be honoring that through the upgrade.

This is the last major set of change we have planned before a major re-release and membership drive.  Once we come back up from the downtime tomorrow, I’ll post the full patch notes.  Let us know if you experience any issues or have other suggestions.
